State of Virginia } Cumberland County } No. 1 3
On this 23rd day of September 1833 personally appeared in open court before
Justices of the County Court of Cumberland now sitting Jacob Tarifs a resident of the said County and State of Virginia aged eighty one (81) years the fifth day of January 1833 who being first duly sworn according to Law doth in his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed the 7th of June 1832. That he entered the service of the United States on the first day of January in the year 1778 as a draf- -tea Militia man in the State service of Virginia under Cap- tain John Martin of Albemarle County from the County of Albemarle State of Virginia. That he marched from home on the first day of January 1778 by Charlottesville to the barracks in Albemarle County and remained in service at that place under the command of John Martin as his Captain and William Fountain as his Colonel, as guard over the prisoners taken at the capture of Burgoyne. That he was discharged from that service on the 31st day of March 1778 having served three (3) months. That he was again called out as a draftea militia man in the said service under the same officers, at the same place on the first day of June 1778 and remained in service until the 31st day of August 1778 when he was again discharged having served three months. After this de- -claration had performed the aforesaid tours and was dischar- -ged, he moved down and settled in the County of Cumberland and State of Virginia on the 5th day of March 1780. That on the 13th day of February 1781 he was drafted as a militiaman from the County of Cumberland and State of Virginia to march to North Carolina. That this declarant did march from the said County on the 13th day of February 1781 under Charles Ballou of the said County as his Captain & Beverly Randolph as his Colonel to -up the County of Mecklenburg and joined the Army under General Green in North Carolina not far from Guilford Court House - a day or two before the battle at Guilford Court House. This declarant was detailed as a guard over prisoners sent to Halifax Court House State of Virginia. To which place he marched under the command of Ensign Cox, delivered the

Prisoners to Colonel Hunt who has charge of this declaration at that place on the 28th day of March 1781. Having served forty nine (49) days whilst this declarant was with the Army on this tour he was commanded by Captain Charles Babbitt, Colonel Beverly Randolph and attached to the Brigade of Virginia Militia under the command of General Lawson. That some short time after his return home, he was again ordered out under the command of General Barnett Gains to secure the ferry boats at the town ofastersville in the County of Cumberland at which place under the command of Colonel Thomas Drew he served seven weeks and when Lord Cornwallis came up to the point of York he was ordered together with the detachment to carry the boats to James Mills where they were sent. This declarant believes that Col. Thomas Drew was the only commission officer at Astersville. That on the 11th 1781 day of September this declarant with the above said detachment rendezvoused at Col. Skipwith's Mills in the County of Cumberland and on that day marched to the siege of Little York under the command of Captain Richard Allen of the County of Cumberland and State of Virginia at which place he remained until the surrender of Lord Cornwallis and then conducted the prisoners to Williamsburg at which place he was discharged on the 29th day of October 1781. But this declarant did not receive a discharge in writing. Whilst in the service at the siege of York & Williamsburg this declarant served forty nine days (49) the march then this declarant served forty nine days (49) he was under the immediate command of Captain Richard Allen and was attached to the Regiment under the command of Major Henry Skipwith & Major W. George Tucker and Brigade of Virginia Militia under the command of General Lawson. That Captain Watkins of Cumberland who is now dead was also in company with this declarant on this last tour of duty. That he has no documentary evidence and as no one knows of any person living who can testify as to his services as aforesaid except Rev. Hatcher Esq. of Manchester and William Walker of Cumberland who was with him at the siege of York. That this declarant was born in the County of Henrico in the State of Virginia on the 5th day of January 1752 but has no register of his age. That he moved from that County as before stated and finally settled in the County of Cumberland where he has ever since resided. This declarant hereby relinquishes every claim to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not in the pension roll of the Agency of an estate.

REGULATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF JUNE 7, 1832.
The following regulations have been adopted:
This law has been construed to extend, as well to the line, as to every branch of the Staff of the Army, and to include under the terms "Continental Line," "State troops," "militia," and "volunteers," all persons enlisted, drafted, or who volunteered and who were bound to military service, but not those who were occasionally employed with the army upon civil contracts, such as Clerks to Commissaries and to Store Keepers, &c., Teamsters, Boatmen, &c. Persons who served on board of private armed vessels are also excluded from the benefits of the law, as well as persons who turned out as patrols, or were engaged in guarding particular places at night, and were not recognized as being in actual military service.
Four general classes of cases are embraced in this law:
 1. The Regular Troops.  2. The State Troops, Militia, and Volunteers.  3. Persons employed in the Naval Service.  4. Indian Spies. 
As rolls of the regular troops in the Revolutionary War exist in this Department, all persons claiming the benefit of this law as officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians or privates, will, in the first instance, make application by transmitting the following declaration, which will be made before a Court of Record of the County where such applicant resides. And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record.

This form is to be varied so as to apply to the cases of officers and persons who belonged to the militia, volunteers, navy, &c.]
He hereby relinquishes every claim (f) whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State, or (if any) only on that of the Agency in the State of _____
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
A. B.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion (g) that the above named applicant was a revolutionary soldier, and served as he states.
I _____ of the Court of _____ do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this _____ day of _____ &c.
If, on examination of the proper record, the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out.
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops, Volunteers or Militia, except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz:
(k) We, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the _____ and C. D. residing in (the same) _____ hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with _____, who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be _____ years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.
Sworn and subscribed the days and year aforesaid.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B. who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman, resident in the _____ and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the _____ and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.
I, _____ Clerk of the Court of _____ do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this _____ day of _____ &c.
Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light upon the transaction.
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration, (l) and he will also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of his

alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his case.
The Court will propound the following (m) interrogatories to all applicants for a pension, on account of service in the Militia, State troops, or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State troops of Virginia.
 1. Where and in what year were you born?  2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?  3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?  4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? And if a substitute, for whom?  5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services.  6. { To a Soldier. } Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given, and what has become of it? { To an Officer. } Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it?  7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution. 
The Court will see that the answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions of the truth of the statement of the applicant.
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court, without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons—one of whom should be the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion. If one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify to the character and standing of other persons giving such certificates.
The traditional evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the inquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject.
Applicants unable to appear in Court, by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or by a Justice of the Peace, the certificate of the Secretary of State or Territory, or of the proper Clerk of the Court or County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person is a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed is his genuine signature.
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the declaration herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can procure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.
[a] The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow the rule laid down for his guidance.
[b] The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule.
[c] The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.
[d] The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served.
[e] Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had. Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the Department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service; but, according to the best of his recollection, he served not less than the period mentioned below, and in the following grades:—For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____. For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."
It is important, in all cases, to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months , is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours, the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
[f] The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
[g] The opinion of the Court is always required.
[h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
[i] The Clerk must fix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he has no public seal of office, the certificate of a Member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other papers authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
Proof of Service.
[j] In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimant's entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
[k] The notes from [a] to [j] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in note [j] applies to continental troops only.
[l] This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[l] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[m] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.
Claimant should procure the affidavits of Walter & H. A. Lecher & assign a specific term to each of his tours in an affidavit
be attested by the Clk under his seal before a magistrate whose official character is certified by the proper officer under his seal

S. 8453
Honorable William L. Nelson House of Representatives Washington D.C.
My dear Mr. Nelson:
Reference is made to your letter of July 25 requesting information in regard to Jacob Ferris or Parriss and James Eidson who served during the Revolution from Virginia.
The data furnished herein were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S. 8453, based upon the Revolutionary War service of Jacob Fariss, the only soldier by that name that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Jacob Fariss was born January 5, 1752, in Henrico County, Virginia.
He enlisted in Albemarle County, Virginia, and served with the Virginia troops as follows: from January 1, 1778, until March 31, 1778, under Captain John Martin and Colonel William Fontaine* and was engaged in guarding prisoners taken when Burgoyne was captured; from June 1, 1778, until August 31, 1778, under same officers as previous enlistment; he moved to Cumberland County, Virginia, on March 5, 1780, and served from February 13, 1781, until March 28, 1781, under Captain Charles Ballow and Colonel Beverly Randolph; sometime after the last mentioned service he served seven weeks under Sergeant Burnett Gains and Colonel Thomas Drew and was engaged in guarding ferry boats at Cartersville, Cumberland County, Virginia; from September 11, 1781, until October 29, 1781, served under Captain Richard Allen and was in the siege of Yorktown and at the surrender of Cornwallis.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 23, 1833, at which time he was living in Cumberland County, Virginia, having moved there in 1780.

The papers in this pension claim contain no data relative to the soldier's family.
— The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to afford any information in regard to a James Midson who served from Virginia. In the event that he served from a state other than Virginia another search will be made, if as much as possible of the following data be furnished as means of identification of the particular record desired: approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and first name of widow.
